The surface of the lake is 773 meters (2,536 feet) above sea level. It has an average surface temperature of 25°C (77°F). Lake Tanganyika has a retention time (the measurement of time that water spends in a particular lake) of 440 years.

I am sure someone will automate all this and make a really nice lookup table!

"Average" is not part of the formula. (I did find the current air temperature, but not water temperature. I think I'm safe)

Are temp & age measurements taken at the time of earning the bonus points or at the time of the game?

Yes, I plan to make a spreadsheet.

How can the answer be anything other than 42?

Because N is the number of bonus points.

OK, I will admit it. (Some people say) I am a snorer. Considering that I have just admitted this on the snoring thread recently started, I thought I'd mention it here. I am also a deep sleeper so don't mind rooming with a fellow snorer.

I thought I had mentioned it for the first CMC, but I was still grouped with people in the room that were unaware that I was a snorer. I don't want anyone to lose sleep at camp because of this. If anyone will lose sleep at camp, I hope it's because they spent all night singing karaoke and not because of my snoring.

I hope this doesn't ostracize me and disallow me from rooming with anyone. Who wants to room with me?!?!? (great sales pitch)

deborah · « **Reply #511 on:** February 02, 2018, 11:51:47 AM »

I am also a deep sleeping snorer and would like to be your roomie!

As I mentioned in that other snoring thread, no one seems to blame the light sleepers for their end of the equation, but I'd rather not get into the philosophical arguments of light sleepers vs deep sleepers in this thread.

BiochemicalDJ · « **Reply #513 on:** February 02, 2018, 12:38:00 PM »

Eh, I included earplugs as standard issue equipment when I went to CMC- both for the DJing and for the sleeping. I assumed there was going to be a baseline level of partying, and that the level would be high xD

I know not everyone is comfortable with earplugs, but just saying- they can really work wonders and are super cheap- and it's realistically only for a night or two.

I also bring eye shades when sharing a room with others. That way, they can turn on the lights if they go to sleep later than me or get up earlier. I don't care because my eyes are covered!

I am also someone who snores on occasion. And also a heavy sleeper. Maybe the snoring question should be on the questionnaire?

You get 5 bonus points if you don't complain about the snorer in your room. Problem solved. Bonus points = hush money.

Hey, I'm coming to CM*TO and bringing my spouse along!!!

So, hi everyone!

I wanted to come last year but I had a scheduling conflict. Then this year, it didn't look like I had a spot but then I got an email that my payment was due... so I guess I got a spot! (Two spots, even.)

Will be doing more lurking in the journals section to see what I can learn about other attendees in advance... and trying to post more in my own journal thread (https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/journals/little-sparks-towards-a-slow-burn/).

I am happy to announce our second breakout speaker for CM*TO.

jordanread is going to lead a breakout session on overcoming the vices that limit us on our path towards success and finding the motivation to keep going. Jordan has been transparent on the journals about his life's ups and downs. I know that everyone will have something to learn about the ways that their own vices are restraining them, tactics for addressing them, and the clarity that can come with facing them head on.

If you want to learn more about Jordan ahead of time, Jordan's journal is

CM*TO Bunk Update

We have had a tremendous response from the waitlist and camp is now about 90% sold out! We have an exciting mix of new and returning campers, and I can't wait to see the karaoke performances this year (@avrex - Backstreet Boys duet?)

There are only a few bunks available at this point, so if you'd like to come to camp but haven't gotten a bunk yet please contact cmto.guestmanagement@gmail.com for details on how to secure a spot.

Hi, I just joined off the wait list. I don't know what to expect, so I jumped on this:
Sriracha, falafel, or formal wear.

YES to all three!

Can't believe that one of you has a Sriracha dress! Makes me think I'm going to fit right in. I love it.
I'm an omnivore who likes having veggie options, I would rather have spicy food than bland, and I have a weakness for evening gowns. But none of them advertise a hot sauce. Time to buy another one.

It might be chilly with just a tiara.

I think too little is probably more accurate.

A tiara, jeans & t-shirt, then.

Lews Therin · « **Reply #534 on:** February 21, 2018, 10:30:50 AM »

Sounds fancy.

How about top hats for men? Monocle is obviously overkill, but would fit-in probably quite well with the crowd.

lizi · « **Reply #535 on:** February 21, 2018, 10:50:16 AM »

You could be super fancy and bring a night vision monocle! It might interfere with eating the meatballs though...

Lews Therin · « **Reply #536 on:** February 21, 2018, 10:52:45 AM »

It goes on your eye, not in your mouth BFT! It doesn't fall out... unless the TOP IS IN!

lizi · « **Reply #537 on:** February 21, 2018, 10:57:27 AM »

They just seem like big enough contraptions that they would get in the way of eating. Granted I haven't actually seen one IRL so maybe the CF has nifty ones that are conveniently compact.

I don't think there would be enough people to have both. CM*TO (actually CMC) was a raging success last year, so there are probably more people interested in it because of that. Why not go on the wait list, and see if you get in because of cancellations? The Toronto group appears to be fairly active, and they run CM*TO. Could you go to some of their meetups?

Lews Therin · « **Reply #541 on:** February 27, 2018, 01:12:38 PM »

I'm sure quite a few of us would only go to one.

Probably more effective to have it in a different location than running a second one in the same area.

ElleFiji · « **Reply #542 on:** February 27, 2018, 09:59:50 PM »

@babyStache regarding this and your earlier post about a new camp mustache, you'd have to talk to one of MMM's representatives to run an event with the camp mustache name (I think @arebelspy was handling this, but he just had baby #2, so I'm not sure if he still is). CM*TO is a SW ON camp, organized by people from a broad area. Unfortunately life got busy and I couldn't help them this year.

I think that if you hunt through the meetups near you, you can meet great people. Putting together the event is a grueling task, more so if you're trying to do it on this kind of a budget. Depending on your motivation for running an event, it could be more rewarding to attend this or another camp.

Hopefully you get past the waitlist and see how awesome the speakers an attendees are!

Another cool reason to hunt down the TO meetup thread is that you'll notice that there was a pre-camp meetup, and attendees who wanted somewhere to crash before camp. This is a great opportunity to meet an international MMM crowd if you don't manage to get a ticket.

TEN Bunks folks!! Believe it or not we currently have TEN open bunks and no waitlist!!

If you want in send you email now!

In other news, if you do already have your bunk secured, keep your eyes open for ongoing speaker announcements and the well-enjoyed CM*TO karaoke requests. BioChem DJ will be pulling together his party list for the beach bonfire and I'll be compiling the karaoke list.

We also have our mandate set for the meatball party. BEcause what would CM*TO be without meatballs and karaoke? Not CM*TO - I'm like, 90% sure of that.
